17 Best Rosé Wines To Bring Out This Valentine’s Day
From deliciously smooth, budget-friendly buys to sparkling bougie bottles when you’ve got a bit more cash to splash, here’s our pick of the best rosé wines for drinking pink.
Whether it’s the palest of pinks from Provence, a deliciously dark style, or a sparkling English wine, the taste of a light, fresh and chilled rosé simply can’t be beaten. To ensure you’re drinking only the best blushes, we’ve rounded up the best bottles worth buying…
Billecart-Salmon Le Rosé
While I know this is a bit of a pricier bottle, it is also an iconic one. A consistently good rosé. Billecart-Salmon’s Le Rosé is all restraint and precision, with fine bubbles, clean red berry notes, and a lightly saline finish that keeps the drink feeling truly grown up. It works effortlessly with lighter foods like oysters, seafood, and even a citrussy dessert.
It’s not a novelty rosé or a trend-driven pick. It is classic for a reason and best opened when there’s an occasion to warrant it, like a Valentine’s spent at home or a fancy lunch in the garden.
Domaines Ott Rosé Côtes de Provence
Domaines Ott has been making rosé for over 110 years, and they still pick their grapes by hand from a vineyard that stretches down as far as the beach.
This latest vintage from the legendary Domaines Ott displays a vibrant blush hue with an expressive, fruity nose featuring aromas of wild peaches and redcurrants.
Babylonstoren Mourvèdre Rosé
We’ve long been fans of Babylonstoren, the pioneering wine estate set in the heart of South Africa’s Cape Winelands.
This rosé offers refined dryness with notes of raspberries. Its salmon colour and palate that offers a combination of raspberry and rose petal flavours have earned this our seal of approval.
The essence of rhubarb, the sweetness of watermelon, and a perfect hint of acidity are balanced in this rosé.
2024 Domaine Pique Roque Rosé, Côtes de Provence
This is the 18th consecutive vintage from Pique Roque, which goes to show just how great the rosé has been year after year. Its pale blush hue, delicate aroma and palette featuring notes of sandalwood, jasmine and bitter orange combine to create a refreshing, light and balanced combination with every sip.
We recommend teaming this with lightddishes such as salmon and chicken, feta and salads.

Château Minuty
A Provence rosé for special occasions, this Cuvée 281 is both delicate and bold. Crafted from Mediterranean grapes, it’s the perfect pair for any meal.
The bottle features a blue that resembles the sea and complements the wine’s complexity. Make sure to serve slightly chilled to fully appreciate the beautiful flavour.
Mirabeau Pure 2024
Here’s a rosé that properly lives up to its Provençal promise. This 2024 vintage brings together everything you’d want from a light sipper – it’s got that gorgeous pale peachy hue that catches the light beautifully, and the nose is an absolute treat with sun-kissed peach notes dancing alongside those classic Provençal herbs and a whisper of mint.
What sets this apart is how it evolves in the glass – those initial white fruit aromas bloom into vibrant orange and zesty clementine, making each sip feel like a little discovery. It’s one of those bottles that works brilliantly with everything from grilled John Dory to a simple chopped salad.
Della Vite Rosé Prosecco
A total winner when paired with small plates like ceviche or bruschetta, this bright, fresh vegan rosé prosecco is fruity, creamy (and most importantly, bubbly), with berries and rhubarb on the nose, and a smooth finish.
Elegant, pale coral pink in colour, it’s a perfectly pink drink for Valentine’s day. As far as proseccos go, we really are fans of this one.

Amie Rosé
Perfect for sipping as an aperitivo, Amie is fresh, dry and beautifully balanced, packed with fruity red berries and floral cherry blossom. It’s also particularly food-friendly, pairing well with fish, salads and grilled chicken. Best served cold on date night, but you couldn’t find a more perfect bottle for a day time celebration either.
Even better – £1 per order is donated to charity: water to help bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries.
‘Sparkling Love’ by Léoube Rosé
Sometimes you need bubbles, and when you do, this organic sparkler from Léoube is spot-on. It’s beautifully fresh and fragrant with those elegant yet lively bubbles that make every sip feel like a proper celebration.
The flavours are a lovely mix of red berries, pomegranate and grapefruit – perfectly balanced between fresh and rounded thanks to its clever second fermentation process that preserves all that natural brightness.
Madame F x Gordon Ramsay Restaurants
Gordon Ramsay Restaurants has teamed up with queer-owned wine brand Madame F to create something rather special for Pride 2025. This Provence-style rosé is aromatic and pink with vibrant strawberry and grenadine flavours plus a hint of pepper.
It’s an original blend that’s is created in collaboration with some of the UK’s most expressive LGBTQIA+ artists. Madame F is a proper celebration of individuality and self-expression, with proceeds supporting LGBTQIA+ charities including Queer Britain.
Now featured across select Gordon Ramsay Restaurant sites, it’s the perfect way to raise a glass to taste, art, and authenticity all in one.

Whispering Angel
Anything from Château d’Esclans produces is a safe choice, but the original Whispering Angel is fresh, floral, elegant and the perfect rosé wine to start a great evening.
Yes, it’s the trendiest of rosé brands, but in addition to style, it’s also got substance – it’s a super-fresh vino with bags of red berries and a smooth finish.
It’s also got the Adele seal of approval, proving that even global superstars appreciate a good bottle of accessible rosé.
Whispering Angel is my go-to, the OG rosé and the perfect bottle for a BBQ or a long, lazy lunch.

Tinted Glasses Rosé by The Lighterman
What’s better than a brilliant new rosé that’s been crafted with love and served with views? The Lighterman’s brand-new ‘Tinted Glasses’ rosé is the result of a lovely partnership with Château St Maur, a beautiful estate nestled in the south of France. The name perfectly captures the idea of seeing the world through an optimistic, joyful light.

Rock Angel Rosé Wine
If a rich and powerful rosé is the order of the day, Rock Angel ticks all the boxes. More complex than its Whispering Angel sibling, this wine is complex, creamy, and ranks highly on our list for taste.
Expect red berry aromas, floral hints, and just a hint of spice with an acidic, silky finish.
Lady A
This rosé wine is made by Soho House – the private members club that’s the epitome of cool, adored by fashionable creatives around the world. So it’s only fitting that their rosé follows suit. Light-bodied and thirst-quenching, it boasts wonderfully refreshing aromas of pink grapefruit, red cherry and strawberry, with subtle floral hints.
The bottle is also stunning, designed by none other than Damien Hirst. You’ll find it served in a number of high-end restaurants and bars across London, but if you’re looking for a beautiful, bougie bottle to gift, this is certainly a great choice.
Lady A is a long time favourite for me, and always the best bev to bring to any dinner party.

The Pale, Rosé by Sacha Lichine
This one’s for the Whispering Angel lovers. A less expensive and more accessible rosé option from the same makers, The Pale, Rosé by Sacha Lichine is the ideal accompaniment to luxurious lunches in the garden.
The bottle is playful, beautiful, and great value for the quality inside. Aromatic, fresh and bone dry, with aromas of peach and pink grapefruit.

La Vieille Ferme Rosé
Known as “Chicken wine” which went viral on social media for being Gen-Z’s favourite choice. No, it’s not because there’s a chicken in the branding, but its reverence does seem purely organic: There’s no gimmickry, its hype has seemingly stemmed from a genuine appreciation for its bullseye-like precision in the Venn diagram of affordability and quality. It costs £8.75 from any supermarket and, out of nowhere, is suddenly ubiquitous.
Freixenet Italian Rosé
Freixenet makes some of the most beautiful wine bottles around, and just like its ever-popular prosecco counterpart, this budget-friendly buy will make you feel like you’re on holiday – even if that’s just in your local park.
Full of red cherries and thirst-quenching strawberries, serve as an aperitif with light, spicy dishes as a precursor to lunch.
Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé
Provence rosés are often seen as the pinnacle of elegance, and a fail-safe Provence to look out for when you’re in the mood for a refreshing rosé is this one from Miraval.
This rosé is full of fruity flavours, with strawberries, rhubarb, peach yoghurt and nectarines at the fore, and hints of nutty notes on the finish. It’s a beautiful, glamourous option to have in your wine rack – unsurprising really, when the estate used to be owned by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
